Chapter Eight

I sat quietly on the soft blue gray bed, not sure what to do anymore. Its been so long since I slept in a real bed! It seems so strange to me now. Just three weeks ago I was dodging disaster over and over again as I left my home far behind me. I'll never go home, I'll never see Mama or Papa or Aunt smiling at me as I come home from a boring day of school. Never, never again... I could feel tears building in my eyes and heat rising to my cheeks. I pushed the thought away trying to ignore the nagging at the back of my mind. From now on things won't be boring...

Ash is an assassin, a professional killer! He works for a secret organisation called Chronos, whose goal is world peace found through murdering anyone who kills others without reason. My Papa worked for Chronos too. Not as an assassin, known within Chronos as numbers for the roman numerals tattooed onto their bodies. Papa was an informant, his role was to bring information about the criminals the numbers were to 'dispose' of and not only that, he worked for Ash, killer number ten. Even though he's an assassin, he doesn't seem like one. You would never be able to guess it by talking to him. But still, Papa said once that I could trust him.

''No, things really won't be boring anymore...'' I said quietly to myself. Ash brought me back to one of the nearby Chronos bases, he had said it was until they figure out what to do with me and for the next few days I would be locked in this room. Being locked here isn't all bad though; there's a bed, a bathroom, and a tv. The problem is, there's no window. The door is locked, there is no way to the outside except for several small ventalation shaftes that are barly big enough for me to fit my head through. I've tried. That worries me, what if they decide to kill me? What will I do then? I can't run away, there's no way out! Is that all there is? Will I die here? I thought, a sudden fear rising in my throat attempting to choke me. No. I thought ,trying to calm myself, if they wanted me dead they would not have brought me all the way here to begin with. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe they will kill me, but right now all I can do is just hope that they have some reason to keep me alive.

Oh well... Nothing I can do about it now, maybe a good night's sleep will clear my head. I thought, suddenly feeling drowsy. I lay back, curling up beneath the warm blankets surrounding me like a shield and drifted off to sleep.
